About the Pickaxe

A pickaxe is a digging tool with a metal head shaped like a T across the top of a handle. One end comes to a sharp point for breaking apart rock and hard-packed soil, and the head swings down with real force. Miners and diggers have long relied on it to break tough ground. Trace this printable in a digging-and-mining lesson and follow the handle to the pointed head.

A pickaxe's pointed head breaks apart rock and hard soil.
Its head is set crosswise on the handle, forming a T shape.
